Wk 255 Making Changes that Stick 03/18/2024

Wk 255 Making Changes that Stick This week I speak with Tamie and Aaron. Tamie fills us in on how the macros diet is working for her, what she's counting and the difficulty she finds keeping everything in line. Aaron and I look back to the preparation classes we did prior to bariatric surgery and some of the life-changing restrictions we were told we'd have to adhere to after surgery. Looking back you realize that some things that were a big deal for you maybe weren't for someone else and vice versa.

This episode was recorded prior to November 1st with Aaron and has been a long time in progress to this point. My conversation with Aaron centres around how his "new" combined family is dealing with his requirement to eat a gluten free diet. Lots of different personalities, and for the most part, all with good intentions, but getting to the point where Aaron feels the family knows enough to keep him safe is a journey.

Aaron's is a large and busy household with with lots of different interests and activities. Aaron uses the analogy of having to juggle balls, some are rubber and will bounce if they drop, others are glass and can't afford to be dropped. He explains how the gluten free diet fits into this perspective. We offer lots of suggestions for keeping his food and the family kitchen safe.

Clearly, in this situation there's a lot going on, but in Aaron's case, his new "bonus" kids have to deal with his gluten free requirements including keeping the kitchen safe. It's a family dynamic that is difficult to plan for, but must be addressed on a continuing basis. Plus as we can expect, there's a couple of plot twists that happen.

He's back at the gym, which is having many great benefits. We talk about his problems with EOE and how he sees the condition after his operation. You'll never guess what his medical team told him to eat, in what most of us would find a reversal of his journey.

The balance is proving to be a challenge, but one that she's happing to talk about. Carla is struggling with illness of family members.

Wk 235 Tamie Does Macros This week I'm chatting again to Tamie who has recently started counting macros. I wasn't sure I knew anything about this, but as we spoke, I realized that this is precisely what I had to do after my weight loss surgery. For Tamie, she is being directed to increase her protein to levels I would not be able to attain. It's tricky learning a new weight loss/maintenance program, so thanks to Tamie for taking us along on the ride.

Wk 232 Questions about WW and the I Could Never Conversation 05/08/2023

Wk 232 Questions about WW and the I Could Never Conversation This week I speak with Tamie and Carla. Like many of us, Tamie is often asked about what "program" she follows to lose and then maintain her weight. Often she must tailor her answers to the person or situation, but this week, she tells us what she says. Likewise, Carla is often asked questions about how she copes with intermittent fasting. Just like eating gluten free, the response is often "oh, I could never do that", or "I would die if I had to do that". Carla has become quite good at tackling these situations, as many of us have had to do when similarly defending our gluten free diet.

Wk 230 Questions From Others About Gluten Free and Fasting 04/03/2023

Wk 230 Questions From Others About Gluten Free and Fasting This week I'm speaking with Tamie and Carla. I ask Tamie about how her gluten free diet, and her efforts to eat healthy gluten free effect others around her. Carla and I chat about what she tells people when they ask her advice about maybe starting an intermittent fasting regime. People have interest in and start different eating programs for many reasons, as I know full well. Choosing something that will work for you and your lifestyle can require many attempts at different programs. Tamie and Carla have found what works for them and they cope well with external factors that could have de-railed them had they not found a program and lifestyle that worked for them individually.

Aaron found two articles for me to read over and here are the links - . and Sue’s Websites and Social Media Podcast Instagram - @glutenfreeweighin Email – Celiac Kid Stuff – Baking Website – Other Podcast – A Canadian Celiac Podcast - Canadian Celiac Podcast Blog – /episode/index/show/glutenfreeweighin/id/26340441

Wk 228 The Art of Being Selfish This week I speak with Tamie and Carla. Tamie and I chat about how and why we sometimes have to be selfish in order to stay healthy. We often have to make choices for activities, workouts and food that may be just for ourselves, but that's okay and even important. Carla and I look at the baby steps someone could take to start an intermittent fasting lifestyle. You don't have to go all in to give it a try.
